Pronouncing Arabic Letters
Arabic letters may sound to some people that they are hard to be pronounced and to be remembered etc.
The Arabic alphabet contains 28 letters, all representing consonants. Arabic is written from right to left in a cursive style; that means, when writing a word, the letters are joined together in a flowing manner, generally for the purpose of making writing faster
You gain vital language skills when you learn Arabic. It is easier to learn French or Spanish. Plus, these languages will allow you to travel or work in various countries, especially in Europe. However, you have more competition because there are more learners and speakers of these languages
The familiar Roman alphabet uses both print, in which each letter stands alone, and script, in which letters are connected (i.e., cursive).In Arabic, however, print does not exist. It is written entirely using a script. Therefore, it may be hard for beginners to distinguish between individual Arabic letters.
Words are written from right to left. Numbers are written from left to right. Some Arabic letters also change form depending on where they are placed in a word (beginning, middle, end, or standing alone).
Arabic has a root system – massive help when it comes to vocabulary! Every noun, adjective and verb is built on a system of 3 key letters, with changes in consonants and vowels.
We offer our students some pictures for each letter, such as tracking the dots, copying the letter, etc.
